Totally Confused CBFM and Digital OPK
OK! So here goes, I've been using the monitor for a few months already, and I've always felt that it was a bit off...My cycles are regular 27-30 day cycles like clockwork based on when I O....So I noticed t hat I was feeling like I was about to O this cycle right now...I've had all LOW days till today CD13, which I got my first high on the monitor...I just double checked with the digital OPK and I got a smiley face!?!?!??!?! Wouldn't that be a peak on my monitor??????
I have to preface that I have been drinking a lot of water before bedtime recently and the monitor wants FMU, so which one do I trust!?!??!?!?!?!

Re: Totally Confused CBFM and Digital OPK
Is it your first smiley?
I think the peak on the CBEFM would correspond to the second smiley day on the digital OPK

Re: Totally Confused CBFM and Digital OPK
Its my first smiley today yes, but for some reason, I always get a few days of highs before I get a peak on my CBFM, so I'm thinking my CBFM has been wrong all along, if I don't get a peak tomorrow, which one do I go off of, I'll BD tonight, bu t do we start the marathon now and BD for the next three days straight...I'm beyond confused!!!!

Re: Totally Confused CBFM and Digital OPK
I think it would (in theory) occur like this... I'm adding dates & times so you can understand what I'm trying to say.
3/31 6 pm, +OPK
4/1 6 am, peak on CBEFM
6 pm, +OPK
4/2 6 am, peak on CBEFM
6 pm, -OPK

BD as you would if both were positive... then wait until you get a peak on the CBEFM and BD some more

I just started using the digital OPK along with the monitor and got the smiley face the day before and then got peak the next morning. I took it as the surge was detectable that afternoon rather than the morning.

Yes, that's typically what happens. That's why you should use OPKs in the afternoon. Your LH is more concentrated
